React + Django Full Stack E-Commerce Project #8 | Checkout Page & Order Placement

In this video (Part 8 of the Full Stack E-Commerce Project), we build the Checkout Page and Order Placement System using React (Frontend) and Django REST Framework (Backend).

You’ll learn how to create a complete checkout flow including Address, Phone, Payment Method, and how to send order data to the backend API using a POST request to /api/orders/create. After successfully placing the order, we will display a success message and redirect the user.

This video focuses on building a real-world e-commerce order flow by connecting the React Checkout Form with Django Order APIs.
